How to Perform a Trunk-Rotation Stretch

The supine trunk-rotation stretch is a good releasing exercise to help improve your ability to complete a stress-free backswing and follow-through in golf. If you have limitations in your spine rotation flexibility (in one or both directions), this exercise can help you gain flexibility in the proper region of your spine and enable a better turn.

1Lie on your back with your hips and knees bent so that your feet are flat on the floor and your arms rest comfortably away from your sides.

Position your arms like you’re a waiter carrying trays with both hands.

2Gently squeeze your shoulder blades and flatten your neck to the floor while you slowly and gently rotate your legs to the left.

Begin this stretch easily, and if it feels uncomfortable or painful, stop!
